Another Musical Guess

This has been making the rounds on Facebook. It's so fun I decided to do up another.

I've (Step 1) put my music player on shuffle, and (Step 2) posted the first lines from the first 30 songs that played (even if they're embarassing). Now it's your turn: Post the song's name and artist (yes some of these are covers, make a guess) in the comments section.

Here they are!

1. Missus, Will ya, Make me tea? BBC - Ming Tea / Mystery C.
2. My story is much too sad to be told
3. Why can’t we free the love inside us
4. Christmas is children just can’t go to sleep
5. Stop that train, I’m leaving
6. Let’s assume you were right
7. No muscle man, no candy cane Jealous of Your Cigarette - Hawksley Workman / Steph
8. Why would she make calls out of the blue
9. Anyone can tell there’s no more road to ride
10. I take a breath and pull the air in ‘til there’s nothing left
11. I love you, but I gotta stay true Mercy - Duffy / Mystery C.
12. My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine My Funny Valentine - Frank Sinatra / Mystery C.
13. We are like pendulums, arms swinging at our sides Pendulums - Sarah Harmer / Steph
14. Rolling cable slick with beer to hang up on the broken stands
15. I’ve been all around the world, I’ve been a new sensation
16. You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life Dancing Queen - ABBA (cover done by the Real Group) / Steph
17. I’ve been ‘neath the moon before
18. Are you blind, blind to me trying to be kind
19. Be-bop-a-lula she’s my baby
20. If I were a man I’d grow a mustache
21. Sometimes I need your body next to mine
22. Fourteenth street and the garbage swirls like a cyclone
23. Not so fast, Malorie, no one makes a fool of me
24. Shoulders of perfection, let them drag you straight across
25. Bring it back to the middle and ‘round again
26. Won’t somebody tell me, answer if you can Soul of a Man - Blind Willie Johnson (cover done by Maria Muldaur) / Rem
27. You’re never far away from me
28. I didn’t hear you leave, I’m wondering how I’m still here
29. Measure me in measured lines, in one decisive stare Aside - The Weakerthans / Steph
30. I’m not alone, wish I was

The Rules from Facebook:
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first *30* songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own

Rem says:
26. Soul of a Man, Bruce Cockburn (Or ... ?? blues artist??)
19. Standard 50's rock tune that Rem can sing but doesn't know artist or title... Buddy Holly?

I wish I was in the room with Steph & Rem when they were playing this game. I think I would have been treated with singing (and possibly dancing?).

Steph: I don't know much about number 25, so I'm not sure if you're on the right track or not. You have however, named the ones I thought would definitely know. Good job!

Rem: 19... just need the name!

Re 25: the last line I remember is 100% Pure Love... which sounds like a possible title. But I still don't know who sings it!

Re: 25 Similar lyrics indeed, but a different song, completely. Try again!
